What is The Impromptu?

The Impromptu is a long running micro no-limit hold 'em poker tournament, which began on a whim on the final weekend of 2009. Since then, it has run continuously, every Saturday night, missing only three games in five years. The game is currently being held as a 'free2play' game, legal everywhere, in the Showcase:LuvinPoker HomeGame Club on Pokerstars. New players are always welcome.

The game originally began at 2am eastern time, and thus the players were dubbed the 'late night degenerates.' Circumstance has seen the start time get earlier and earlier, so we're not up quite so late these days. But the LND are a great crowd to sit down with, and we have a fun game each and every week.

For the past couple of years, curtinsea and tamijodarlin have been broadcasting live on LuvinRadio, providing in-game coverage and commentary. Tune in when playing, as no doubt we will be talking about you! 

So come and play The Impromptu, and maybe you can hoist the coveted Impromptu Cup.

 Previously, at The Impromptu . . . 

Fifty-two players turned up last night for The Impromptu, with many of the 'old guard' degenerates were able to join us in the Showcase:LuvinPoker Home Game Club. Helping me call the action on the live broadcast was Ron "Halfcent50" Santa. I made an early exit from the game, but Santa hung in there and reached the final table . . .

richm7438 "Tooth" seemed to have an impenetrable chip lead, but he would give up a big chunk, doubling-up both Halfcent and 2HavAnd2Fold before going out in fourth place. 1CruelHand was quite short three-handed, but managed to have at least a taste of the chip lead before ultimately falling in third place.

Halfcent50 and 2HavAnd2Fold would do battle heads up, with the latter starting out with the chip lead. Santa was relentless, however, and wrestled away not just the chip lead, but ultimately the victory, as he would add a fifth Impromptu Cup to his collection. Congratulations on the victory!!

A big thanks to all the players, great to see so many come and play The Impromptu! Come and join us next week. Thanks to Ron for filling in for Tami on the broadcast, good to see it didn't impair your game ;)

 Previously, at The Impromptu . . . 

Only seven weeks into 2015, we get our first review of previous games. In the first game of the year, newcomers to the Impromptu, rjs1975 and pogo would go heads up for their first Cup, with rjs1975 winning this round. The old guard was back the following week, with therealslomo defeating fishtrapper7, aka Jake_st, for his second Impromptu title. Pogo would return to heads up action, this time against FUCard311. But the result, for him at least, would be the same, as FUCard311 would take his seventh win in this game.

Shyne42 found his way to the top once again, taking out pogo in 3rd place while burkey was helplessly sitting out. This made for a swift heads up, with burkey missing out on another Cup. The following week, Spacecase made it to the top of the heap, claiming his second Impromptu Cup over colonelangus. Shyne42 would book-end Spacecase's win with yet another win of his own, taking his eighth victory over Jake_st.

Last week, CPAlumn would go head to head with icisic2000 for an Impromptu Title, and come away with the ultimate prize, joining the list of elite players to take victory in The Impromptu!!
